"Maddie, you will get into a prestigious college. You're the top student in the city." Henry said, looking at the petite, yet resolute Madeline.

The sunlight shone through the window onto Madeline's determined profile and made her eyes shine brightly.

Henry wondered, "Why did that look disappear from her eyes later?"

Henry raised his hand to touch Madeline's eyes, though he couldn't feel anything. He sat in the empty seat beside her, staying with her the whole

Henry placed his hands on the desk and said, "Maddie, you're really smart. When you first started, you only scored 17 in math, but now you're at 110. You're truly a genius."

Henry sighed deeply, realizing that they must have been blind to overlook the brilliant soul hidden beneath Madeline's humble appearance, Henry said, "Maddie, you shouldn't be so absorbed in studying that you skip meals.

Winslet looked at Madeline with eyes full of hate. Madeline was confused, but thinking about leaving the Larson residence for college made it all seem unimportant.

However, Winslet wouldn't let it go. She said, I heard you did well? Madeline, you better not have!"

Madeline watched Winslet's figure as she walked away, feeling helpless.

In the next months. Henry watched as Madeline got accepted into Acocester University, with many sponsors eager to support this outstanding student.

Winslet was determined to steal Madeline's college spot

Henry stood in the study, shaking with anger as Winslet tearfully recounted how hard her life was to the family. Henry said. "Don't believe her.
